remedy arial, viagra order sans-serif;”>On Tuesday, cure August 25, 2015, at about 7:04 p.m., two Oxnard police officers were traveling northbound on Rose Avenue near the intersection of Mountain View Avenue. At this time, they were transporting a prisoner in the rear seat of the patrol vehicle. When the officers stopped for the red light at Fifth Street behind several other stopped vehicles, their patrol vehicle was suddenly rear ended by a white, 2005 Chevrolet Colorado pick-up truck driven by 41 year old Fillmore resident, Armando Lomeli Rico.
Officers at the scene contacted Driver Rico and arrested him on suspicion of driving while under the influence of alcohol. He was not injured as a result of the collision.

Driver Rico was later booked into the Ventura County Jail on charges of felony DUI causing injuries and for driving with a suspended driver’s license resulting from several prior DUI convictions. Driver Rico had also been court ordered to install an ignition interlock device in his vehicle but one was not found in the truck.

Rico needs to be put in jail. He has complete disregard for people and the law. He ran over my TWO little cousins in May (pedestrians) and now injured another 3? At this point the county should be held responsible for liability since all they seem to do is slap him with fines, yes, more than one occurrence.
He is a menace to society and if we don’t put a stop to him and his misery, it might be you or a loved one under his wheels next.
